Israel's 60th Independence Day
Source |
It's a country smaller than New Jersey, with fewer residents than New York City. Yet
Israel has contributed a nearly unparalleled amount to the world's advances in science, technology and culture.
IM, the modern
cell phone, the computer
firewall,
Intel's Pentium MMX and
Centrino chips were all born in Israel. So were
Natalie Portman,
Itzhak Perlman and
Bar Rafaeli.
GOOG,
MSFT,
IBM and
MOT all have active research labs in Israel. The mini-camera-in-a-pill, the once-a-day pill for
Parkinson's, and drugs to treat
Alzheimer's,
MS, diabetes, flu, acne, and many kinds of cancer are the result of Israeli scientific innovation. Today, Israel celebrates its 60th birthday.
